This is a brief advisory of no particular urgency. During the night between Tuesday and Wednesday the backside of the the Sierra Madre Oriental received considerable snow at the latitude of the Quinta. If one clicks on to Google Earth and moves towards Cd. Victoria, Tamaulipas....browse slightly to the west-northwest.....near the peak of Pen~a Nevada....stay at a fairly high elevation...about 35 to 70 miles west and northwest generally of Cd. Victoria and the Quinta Tesoro de la Sierra Madre.
The west-facing (dry-side) slopes of the Sierra de Cautivo and surrounding areas can be seen to be heavily impacted by what appears to be snows of up to 12 - 20 inches overnight. Most areas received much less. The "El Cautivo" is a cordillero which composes a signicant section of the overall Sierra Madre Oriental range.
These snows seem to be mainly in the 8,000 to 10,000 foot level with a few exceptions.
